Identification and characterization of sigma, a novel component of the Staphylococcus aureus stress and virulence responses.
S. aureus is a highly successful pathogen that is speculated to be the most common cause of human disease. The progression of disease in S. aureus is subject to multi-factorial regulation, in response to the environments encountered during growth. This adaptive nature is thought to be central to pat...
